Abstract: with an enormous generation and availability of time series data and streaming data, there is an increasing need for an automatic analyzing architecture to get fast interpretations and results. One of the significant potentiality of streaming analytics is to train and model each stream with unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to detect anomalous behaviors, fuzzy patterns, and accidents in real-time. If executed reliably, each anomaly detection can be highly valuable for the application. In this paper, we propose a dynamic threshold setting system denoted as Thresh-Learner, mainly for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications that require anomaly detection. The proposed model enables a wide range of real-life applications where there is a necessity to set up a dynamic threshold over the streaming data to avoid anomalies, accidents or sending alerts to distant monitoring stations. We took the major problem of anomalies and accidents in coal mines due to coal fires and explosions. This results in loss of life due to the lack of automated alarming systems. We propose Thresh-Learner, a general purpose implementation for setting dynamic thresholds. We illustrate it through the Smart Helmet for coal mine workers which seamlessly integrates monitoring, analyzing and dynamic thresholds using IoT and analysis on the cloud.
